The correct answer is: Decoding.

Key Points
  • Decoding means changing secret and coded messages into a readable form. (गुप्त और कोडित संदेशों को पठनीय रूप में बदलना)
  • It is a process opposite to encoding.
    • Example: The spy had to decode the message to understand the enemy's plan.

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Additional Information
  • Decoupling means separating or disconnecting something. (किसी चीज़ को अलग करना या अलग करना)
  • Encoding means converting information into code to keep it secret. (जानकारी को गुप्त रखने के लिए उसे कोड में परिवर्तित करना)
  • Encrypting means converting information into a secret code to protect it from unauthorized access. (जानकारी को अनधिकृत पहुंच से बचाने के लिए उसे गुप्त कोड में परिवर्तित करना)
